He's clearly trying to be honest, but in doing so, he's being 'political' with his answers. What this does, however, is basically tell us the things he's trying to avoid telling us. So, just f***ing lie, Merv. Say you still want to be here, say you want to coach for the Bengals past this year, say you're looking into where the report comes from. Who cares if none of that is true? Just SAY IT and watch as the narrative shifts away from you (so to speak).
Yeah, this would all be wrong. He isn't trying to be honest, he's avoiding the questions and being an asshat in the process. YOU TELL THE TRUTH. Be a man and a professional and just level with people. Hell, if you'd done that days or weeks ago, then this team wouldn't be looking so hopelessly stupid and clueless at this point. Well, maybe less so, this is the Bengals and Mike Brown, after all.
Level with the coaches who work for you, and who don't now if they'll have a new HC or have to go job hunting. Level with the players who lay their asses on the line for you every week and deserve to be treated like professionals. Level with the media who have never done anything but toss softballs at your sorry ass for fifteen years, acknowledging that if you worked in just about any other media market, they would not have put up with your stupid shit for so long. Level with the community that built you the building you work in. Level with th fans who are hungry for a winner and most decidedly deserve one.
We have enough opportunistic politicians lying to us for their own gains. FFS, tell the God damn truth.
